He claims they are friends of the Iraqi people and will protest civilians and establish truly representative government in a new Iraq not run by the USA, Britain or the UN. Blair hands over to Bush, who says he's pleased to be in Northern Ireland. He then praises Blair's courage and conviction, he lists the common aims of free nations, the fight in Iraq is to defend free nations, he then says he and Blair are committed in Northern Ireland to helping the parties take the final steps to lasting peace. He mentions Blair and Ahern's upcoming plan and says he'll urge Northern Ireland Politicians to accept the plan. He also says Blair and he will discuss post war Iraq, He praises the Military Forces of the Coalition, whom he says are trying to protect civilians, but Iraq will be freed then essential services restored and interim authority established till Iraqi people elect a government. The US will work with the UN he says, he also mentions his palns to create a situation where Israel and Palestine can live side by side in peace, saying that proved possible in Northern Ireland, where he says patterns of hatred have been broken. Both men invite questions from the audience of journalists. Bush is asked how he feels about meeting the leaders of the Republican Movement who have targeted British Citizens and he won't meet the DUP who are against terrorism. Bush recalls he has met the Republicans before, they are now signed up to the Good Friday Agreement for peace and he's comfortable meeting them too close the peace process and set an example for the world. Bush is asked about a direct attack on Saddam last night and if it was successful, Bush doesn't know, but again praises the liberation and freedom they're bringing to Iraq. Both men are asked will the UN have a role in selecting the interim Iraqi Government, Bush says Iraqi people will decide who's on it, with UN having a role. Blair agrees saying Iraqis are in discussion with them about running their own country. He wants an international effort to give Iraq's control back to the Iraqi people.

The Stevens Inquiry III Report says there was collusion between the RUC and Loyalists in the killings of Pat Finuance and Aidan Lambert, but stops short of saying it was institutionalism. Film report on Sir John Stevens (Metropolitan Commissioner) findings, hears he examined twenty six murder cases and he was obstructed by the Police and the army, most of his three thousand page report wasn't published, as he arrived at his Europa Hotel press conference, relatives of Loyalist murder victims confronted him, the widow of Gerard Slane was dragged away as she tried to enter. Inside Steven's criticised the RUC Special Branch and the army's Force Research Unit, he defined the collusion he found. The RUC could have prevented the murders of innocent people like Finucane and Lambert, he said, he also detailed the obstruction used against him and he pledged to bring the killers to justice. In response, Hugh Orde (PSNI Chief Cons.) who had been Steven's Deputy, emphasised the changes in Policing here now. Back at the Europa, collusion victims relatives spokesman, Michael Power expressed their outrage that Stevens himself didn't meet them and sent his detectives instead. Political reaction has been mixed. Report begins with Teresa Slane's comments, her husband, Gerard was killed in September 1988 in Belfast, then A. Maskey (SF) who was setup by Brian Nelson gives his response as a victim, he wants to see the chain of command exposed. Mark Durkan (SDLP) said the report was grave and alarming, he wants to know how high it went, what did Flanagan, King and Thatcher know. Alan McFarland (UUP) said the report was disturbing, then I. Paisley Jnr (DUP) sys the repoort was inconclusive on collusion issue, and institutionalised collusion didn't exist. Sir Des Rea (Policing Board) says they will learn from the report as they move forward.

Meanwhile the family of Adam Lambert, the protestant who was killed in 1987 in mistake for a Catholic says the matter would be persued now that the report was with the DPP office. Brian Cowen (Irish Foreign Affairs Minister) called for a public inquiry into the Finucane murder, then from Dublin, Michael Finucane says the report vindicates the stance his family has taken since his father's murder. Collusion is now proven beyond any doubt he says, but he wants to know how far up the chain of command collusion went. He now wants a public inquiry to get all the facts. Files going to the DPP isn't good enough. UTV Insight tonight will cover the Collusion issue, a clip from the programme will show a UDA killer naming an RUC man he colluded with. Trevor Birney introduces the FRU personnel involved and it's work, with an FRU agent saying it was state sponsored murder and a William Stobie interview recalling what he told Special Branch. See Insight later for full details. In the studio, Chris Moore (Journalist) considers the pont that the coverup has been institutionalised, he reviews the last fourteen years of Stevens and examines the RUC CID response to Special Branch activities.

In other news, N. Dodds (North Belfast MP) says he won't be silenced by dissident republicans who tried to bomb his office. Film report with Dodds interview.

Coverage of today's release of the Stevens III Inquiry report which confirms RUC/Loyalist collusion in Finuance/Lambert murders. Begins with Stevens' press conference with film of relatives confronting Stevens at the Europa Hotel. Then Steven's comments on the disasters made, when innocent people by any standard where targeted, he then comments on the obstruction of his inquiry by the RUC Special Branch and FRU. He makes twenty one recommendations for change, these are listed on screen. He offers advice to Hugh Orde on not letting events of the 1980s happen again. He also said RUC Special Branch compromised Douglas Hogg (Government Minister) by telling him some lawyers were IRA sympathisers. Although today's report focused on two killings, collusion accusations are more widespread.

The next report looks at the case of Francisco Norarantino killed by the UFF in his home in 1987, his daughter Charlotte was disappointed as Stevens revelations were nothing new. She describes the 9th October 1987 attack on her home and the family's reactions. The Ministry of Defense statement says it welcomes the report but would give no interviews. Meanwhile PSNI Chief Constable reminds people the PSNI is vastly different from the RUC in 1989 in his remarks. Then Brian Rowan's (BBC Security Correspondent) report looks at the murky underworld of agents of the dirty war here and collusion, it begins fourteen years ago when Steven's arrived and his report today. Durkan asks did it go all the way to the top as does A. Maskey (SF), then Brian Nelson's role is profiled. In 1993 a film clip shows then then army G-O-C, Lt. Gen. Sir John Wilsey, saying the army operates within the law, but Nelson, who died last week, operated outside the law says Stevens. Then film clip shows the response of I. Paisley Jnr. (DUP) and Fred Cobain (UUP). Next report highlights the reposnse of the family of Adam Lambert killed in mistake for a Catholic in 1987. His mother doesn?t see the need for an inquiry, then the son of Pat Finucane, Michael in an interview says his family does want an inquiry and he explains why he believes the Stevens report gives rise to more questions then answers especially over how far up knew about collusion. He doesn't want the gunmen prosecuted at the expense of the whole truth on the matter. A public inquiry should be sooner rather than later he says. Next item is from Conor McAuley who explores what happens next now that the Stevens Report has gone to the DPP office, in Belfast where the evidence is assessed, they decide on charges and against who. Brigadier Gordon Kerr is mentioned, but prosecutions can be dragged out to prevent a public inquiry as the Finucane's fear.

Back in the studio, Brian Rowan comments on the restrictions the General was dealing with, and gives his analysis of what he said, he's joined by Fionnula O'Connor (Journalist) who speculates on D. Trimbles response, she can't see how this act today helps his election chances, she's mystified he accepted the deal.

A news special on today's events begins by saying there is confusion at the moment as to where exactly the peace process deal planned for today, is exactly. The two Prime Ministers have yet to hold their Hillsborough new conference which was due earlier in the afternoon, and Trimble has said because of lack of transparency in the IRA's act of decommissioning, the UUP has put the peace process sequencing on hold. A film report then reviews the day so far with the two Prime Ministers arriving at Hillsborough, the announcement of Northern Ireland elections here on 26th November, then Gerry Adams (SF) speech saying they are committed to peace, and that the PIRA wants the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement.

Then in the studio, David Ford (Alliance leader) gives his opinions on today's failed sequence, he says that was because today's process was not inclusive, it only worked on Sinn Fein's and UUP's needs and he rejects criticism of DeChastelein, and comments on the aim now of new elections, then Mark Durkan (SDLP Leader) gives his views today failed because of the 'go it alone' approach by the two Governments, he says Prime Ministers tried to fool people with spin and he also rejects DeChastelein taking any blame for today, then as reporters are shown waiting at Hillsborough for the two Prime Ministers, the bulletin continues with other news.

Hutchinson (PUP) feels it was a let down, then Charles Butler, a relative of Shankill bomb victims feels the decommissioning didn?t go far enough, then a vox pop of people's views in Lisburn wasn't enthusiastic. However, G. Taylor (Sinn Fein Rep.) says the IRA has sold out and surrendered, she explains her views then Paul Little (IRSP) says the time isn't right for decommissioning as Loyalists haven't started yet. The Denis Bradley (Vice-Chairman, Police Board) says today's decommissioning is highly significant, he explains his view and then John Hume (SDLP) agrees.
